French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[snipie]

So far, this defeat will not affect their position in Ligue 1 in any way, as they have a good advantage. And of course, this defeat can be justified by the fact that PSG are preparing for a very important match against Bayern, which will take place this Tuesday. Galtier understands that if they win, in the match with Bayern, no one even talks about this defeat, but for this they need to win.

And Bayern in recent matches is only gaining form and I am more inclined to believe that Bayern will dominate this match and they will have more chances to win.

Galtier didn't take the match vs Monaco in a serious way otherwise the lineup would be different. The game against Bayern is taking all their attention since it will start in less than 3 days so players have to rest for some moments.
According to odds, Bayern seems more favourite but I think PSG might force them to a draw

It was an opportunity for Marseille after PSG played badly and lost against Monaco.

And Marseille took this opportunity really well. They managed to beat Clermont comfortably by 2-0. Alexis Sanchez was man of the match indeed with 2 goals. They had the game under control mostly and they didn't have problems on reflecting this onto the score as well. Now the point gap with PSG is 5 points again. Marseille need to keep this up to maintain their title run. They can do this against a PSG that lose many points easily.

Monaco vs Paris Saint Germain, who do you think will win and get 3 points in this match?
I understand that Paris Saint Germain are always the favorites to win, but it looks like Monaco could give them another defeat. They will play a home game, that will add to their motivation to be able to beat Paris Saint Germain in front of their own fans.

Galtier used the 3-5-2 formation to face Monaco, I think he was able to predict the dominance of Monaco's attack from the start and prepare a counterattack strategy but what he did was ineffective. without the presence of messi and mbappe, PSG looks very bad, this is something that galtier must pay attention to because a team that is dependent on 1 or 2 players will always end badly without those players.

they don't really have a lot of good players in the bench to replace the absence of Messi, Mbappe or Neymar, and if two or more of them are gone, it's a disaster as we can see so far, PSG's squad today was empty of stars except for Neymar and he couldn't shine alone.

PSG club's only star has been the midfield and defender players are second normal to other teams.  Yesterday's match saw PSG drop points but lose by a wide margin.  Neymar did not perform well and could not keep the ball for PSG.  AS Monaco had 66 percent of the ball.  One got these two goals and AS Monaco scored two goals in 18 minutes.  A 3-1 goal ended the game in full and Monaco and their victory was a victory for football lovers to rejoice.

As monaco has been dominating everything. You can expect nothing from neymar once he plays alone without messi and mbappe. So far, PSG is always relying on its superstars while they were absent due to the injury and you can see how bad the result was achieved by PSG.
Losing against as monaco has proven that the secondary players in the club didn't have the average skills to compete with another club like as monaco. PSG shall not always rely with its star players. Once these players will be leaving from club may be next season and psg may not able to dominate french league again. Glad i have placed my bet in monaco. I doubt PSG would be winning caused by it's played without mbappe and messi.

Played very well against Clermont Foot in Marseille. Clermont Foot's players were not given the chance to create any good attack by Marseille's players. Marseille closed the points gap with PSG by winning this match. Now only 5 points behind PSG. PSG is not in good form. Their performance has been poor in the last few matches. And if the performance does not improve, PSG will soon lose the top spot in the table.

What can you expect from a team that can only play with neymar as its best player in the club? i expect nothing from the match against monaco. that's why i were picking monaco rather than PSG. Even when messi was focusing in the match against bayern and it doesn't even mean PSG can win easily against bayern munchen. Bayern is always having a way to prevent messi no matter what happened. AS monaco is far better than PSG. Can we expect another team like marseille to take the title for this season?
So many people were still picking PSG over as monaco caused by it's safe bet for anyone but i hope that people aware if PSG is only relaying on these trio.

I am not sure if Gatlier didn't serious to take the match against Monaco because before this match PSG had faced injured issue which makes Galtier have to playing with the current squad and PSG has proven themself that they can't do anything without Messi and Mbappe even on statistics we can see Monaco were clearly better than them and for Monaco i think credits for their player Ben Yedder that besides scoring 2 goals in this match he also became an attack control for Monaco that his movement during the game is very difficult to guard by PSG players i think he deserved as man of the match

[rendravolt]

Marseille is back to winning ways after winning 0-2 at host Clermont in last night's game. Statistically, Marseille played very well in this match with 7 shots on target and 68% ball possession, while Clermont did not perform optimally as the host, but their goalkeeper has pretty good statistics with 5 saves. This result further shortened the gap between Marseille and PSG, which is only 5 points away.

[Patrol69]

The 15th is PSG's Champions League Super Sixteen match and two consecutive defeats in the France League like this will really set their morale back. In the last match, PSG lost 1-2 to Marseille. PSG made 8 short shots of which three were on target and PSG had 56 percent of the ball but still lost the match.  We know PSG was eliminated from the Super Sixteen of the UEFA Champions League in the previous season as well. The match against Bayern Munich on the 15th is not going to be so easy. Of course, PSG will need to put in a great performance to win against Bayern Munich.

Another embarrassment and another loss. A team without Kylan Mbappe usually fails to succeed even when it has world cup winners on it! The most important thing in any football match is scoring goals, which is what Mbappe delivers. The defense and midfield of this team are an embarrassment. The team lacks a world-class midfielder, and there is certainly no game plan from the coach. As a result, PSG has demonstrated they cannot compete without Messi and Mbappe by losing 3-1 to Monaco just before Bayern's UCL match.

[Silence Scream]

Marseille are leading in the first half 1 0 thanks to alexis sanchez goal from the penalty spot it is a really good result since psg team lost today the three points will put them on the secnd spot with five points away from the leader and since they will be facing them soon they might even narrow it down i don't think clerment team will equalize considering how well marseille played in the first half.

With 2 goals scored by Alexis Sanchez, Marseille managed to get through without loss.  It was very important to get 3 points in the week where psg lost points.  They have now managed to take the second place 5 points behind Psg and if they win the game they will play, the point difference will be reduced to only 2.  It's hard to say now that the league will be easy for Psg.  UCL qualifiers are also starting and the team will be tired.

[Docnaster]

For me this was an expected win from Monaco and huge win for them to try and catch PSG. But i think its o most impossible that they drop such a big lead. PSG focuses on champions league and they dont care much about their own league. They got a big match against Bayern Munich so i think this wasnt their 100%

Psg is loosing matches recently and we keep justifying their losses with the excuse of Champions League. Ligue 1 is not very competitive  so PSG is supposed to be winning their matches without the trio -Mbappe, Neymar and Messi.

Clermont was making four shots on target which is good overall but all of these shots can be blocked unlike marseille who has been making five shots and two of these shots can be converted into goals. Clermont has been trying its best to be as good as marseilles but the different is too big as players from marseille are far more experienced compared with clermont. The result could be predicted easily if marseille was winning the game now. I can hope only that if PSG will be getting lost streak. I just wanna see marseille take a chance to be a champion for this season.
Marseille is also very competed like PSG. PSG needs to focus with UCL. that may make the performance from the club will be declining so hard like last match against monaco.

Marseille are leading in the first half 1 0 thanks to alexis sanchez goal from the penalty spot it is a really good result since psg team lost today the three points will put them on the secnd spot with five points away from the leader and since they will be facing them soon they might even narrow it down i don't think clerment team will equalize considering how well marseille played in the first half.

With this win, Marseille managed to cut their points tally with Paris Saint Germain, who were beaten by Monaco this week. A very good result of course because now the point gap between them is 5 points. But again it seems that this team can only do it like this, I mean when they get a golden moment to get closer, they actually lose points too, what I usually see here, not only AMarseille, Lens also do the same thing.

If Psg has a few surprise defeats, Marseille could beat them.  Frankly, I didn't even expect Marseille to push Psg, considering the squad difference.  However, when Psg suffered surprise defeats, Marseille was able to approach them.  After the game against Bayern Munich, I am curious about their performance in the league because they will face Lille.  Lille is a tough team, they can give Psg another surprise.

Marseille is highly favored to win the match and they did very well, with PSG's loss to Monaco making Marseille reduce the point gap on the standings, now the difference in points between the two teams is 5 points.
but PSG's defeat against Monaco was highlighted because in the next match PSG will face Bayern on the Champion League stage, and until now the PSG team has not been consistent especially if some of their core players are absent then the game will look much different.

PSG's inconsistency this season makes it possible for other teams to compete strictly at the top of the standings, but with the strengths that the team has, of course PSG has the biggest chance of being able to win this season.

Indeed, PSG's inconsistency this season has been put to good use by several of its rival teams to continue to be able to catch up with PSG's points, including Marseille's current victory which will bring their distance even closer. Talking about PSG against Monaco, I think here PSG really depends on their key players and in that match Mbappe's absence made coach Galtier try to rotate his players and the results were very bad, this proves that if PSG loses just one key player they can get bad results.

Meanwhile, against Bayern Munich in the UCL match later, PSG will again surrender to their current condition because PSG will appear with an incomplete squad due to the two players Mbappe and Messi having to be absent due to injury problems. So how can PSG beat Bayern Munich in the match later? isn't this too difficult for PSG? Will Galtier try a new strategy again? even playing at home does not guarantee they will win later.

[slaman29]

Wait, are you also another outright taker on Monaco? I put about $4 on them pre-season once I knew Minamino was on his way, I always thought he would do good eventually (he hasn't really, but he's not been bad for them either).

20/1 so of course I'd like them to win it all!

Not really no I don't usually bet long term like this but actually yes I have been hoping for Monaco for quite a long time now, and yesterday I took them with a small multibet together with Barcelona.

The only bad thing is that this was my insurance freebet from Sportsbet, instead of a bigger bet that I used to go for Arsenal who didn't win!

Still to get back the freebet and win something (if Barca win) is better than nothing!

[Rigon]

As monaco has been dominating everything. You can expect nothing from neymar once he plays alone without messi and mbappe. So far, PSG is always relying on its superstars while they were absent due to the injury and you can see how bad the result was achieved by PSG.
Losing against as monaco has proven that the secondary players in the club didn't have the average skills to compete with another club like as monaco. PSG shall not always rely with its star players. Once these players will be leaving from club may be next season and psg may not able to dominate french league again. Glad i have placed my bet in monaco. I doubt PSG would be winning caused by it's played without mbappe and messi.

Whenever I heard that Messi Mbappe would not play in this match, I doubted that PSG would not win this match. That's why many people bet for AS Monaco yesterday.  However, PSG conceded 3 goals in the first half. And PSG managed to score a goal. Neither team could score in the second half. PSG left the field with a 3-1 defeat at the last minute. This is PSG's third defeat in the current league. Of course, PSG is at the top of the league table with 54 points in 23 matches. And AS Monaco has reached the second position with 47 points in 23 matches. And Marseille is in third position with 46 points after playing 22 matches. PSG's 3rd defeats from first place is a huge blow. But let's see what benefits PSG can bring against Bayern Munich on the 15th.

Not many predicted that with the squad that Paris Saint Germain has, they would lose a lot of points even after losing a few times. But this is football, even though they have a squad absolutely nothing can match the luxury of a squad they can still be beaten. My focus right now is not on Paris Saint Germain but on the team that goes after him, whether they are capable of doing it or not.
